mittee, and til Il the executive committee
The committee on credentials at the last
meeting is not standing committee,
Mr.. Williams--The point is whether Demo-
Gratis can come IN here and participate la the
organization Of this committee when their
seats are not contested BY any one, and we
consider that where there is 4 contest that
they must go to the committee on creden-
tials.
Mr.. Montgoinery-I desire 20 call the atten-
ton q this committee to the fact that the
parish Of Acadia. II is res GdJ1dacatd, and
we cannot 60 back on that.
